   The newest addition to my bust quarter collection is this 1828 B-2. 1828 B-2 is roughly tied with 1828 B-3 for the title of scarcest 1828 die marriage, but 1828 B-3 is far more popular due to the 25/50 engraving error on its reverse. 1828 B-2 is the only 1828 die marriage with a square base 2 in “25 C.”, but since this…

Updating our website has been the main focus during the lockdown. The ANS has a long reputation of only catering to mostly…

   Jesse, and others. I was lucky enough to visit the ANS as well as The Smithsonian collections with my co-authors Dr. Glenn Peterson And John Kovach while researching our book Early Quarter Dollars of the US Mint. If you are interested, we printed a list of the pieces in each collection in the book. The Smithsonian…
